MURDER CHARGES FILED

A West Palm Beach man was charged with three counts of first-degree murder in connection with a shooting on Georgia Avenue last week.

Pablo Medina, 34, of the 3900 block of Lake Avenue, was being held without bail at the Palm Beach County Stockade. Medina is accused of taking part in a robbery early in the morning of Sept. 25, in which four to seven masked gunmen burst into a small apartment and shot several people who were playing poker.

Two of the card players and a woman who was sitting in a car parked outside the residence died in the attack. The gunmen stole about $150.

In addition to the murder charges, Medina faces three counts of attempted murder, one count of home invasion, two counts of aggravated assault and one count of possession of a firearm during a felony.
